It's Cyber Monday, and the online holiday shopping season is now in full swing.

The holiday season is a time to consider and celebrate others.And yet, with all the stresses of online and in-store shopping,
cooking, baking and visiting it’s easy to forget about one very special person.

And that special person is you.Far from being self-indulgent, self care ensures that you’re healthy and
able to fully participate in life.

So together, let’s start a new trend:From now on, we’re also going to take care of ourselves during this
delightful season. Let's start with online shopping for ourselves at some of the HandmadeMN Etsy shops.

A smart way to start the day is with some ground rules, beautifully presented in
this 12 Steps to Self Care Card by evebrown.Personally, I like to frame and hang greeting cards, and this appears to
be a perfect candidate for the picture frame treatment.

Wise rules, for this season and all seasons.

While you’re in the self care state of mind, it’s time to relax.A fun way to indulge in the shower is with
this trio of beer soaps by AllThingsHerbal.Remember, it’s okay to keep all 3 for your personal enjoyment.

Invigorating and special: handcrafted soaps made with beer

With your neck and shoulder muscles loosed up a bit, why not take it
all the way?A neck heating pad by
WarmHugsCornBags will take you to new depths of relaxation.

Winter relaxation never looked so good!

Winter can be tough on the lips.Try a bees wax lip balm by SweetBeeHoney.The balms are made with unrefined, filtered
beeswax from the owner’s hives.

Mind your own bees wax with these soothing lip balms.

Now that you’ve taken care of your body, it’s time to recharge your
spirit.This State Fair After DarkCanvas by gieslahoelscher will help your mind drift to the free-spirited fun of
the Great Minnesota Get-Together.It’s a
perfect stress reliever on a cold Cyber Monday, or on any day.

Minnesota State Fair memories will boost your spirits.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling better already:refreshed, inspired and re-energized. And maybe I've talked myself into buying two each of these items: one for me, and one for someone on my gift list. Let’s start celebrating!
